Programme Heritage
ISPTech's flight heritage and programme record since 2022. Three years of qualification testing, programme execution, and flight operations with propulsion systems across four product families.
2022 – 2025
ISPTech Founded
ISPTech established in Lampoldshausen by Lukas Werling. Initial focus on cold gas RCS and monopropellant thruster development for smallsat market.
CG-50 Cold Gas RCS — Qualification Complete
Full ECSS-E-ST-35C Level 1 qualification of CG-50 cold gas thruster module. Thermal cycling, vibration qualification at 14 Grms, and 2,000-pulse endurance test completed at DLR Lampoldshausen.
CHT-5 Monopropellant — First Flight
CHT-5 hydrazine monopropellant thruster first flight on Kirova Systems LEO observation platform. AOCS mission: 18-month operational life. All propulsion system objectives met at CDR milestone.
HET-200 Hall Thruster — Qualification
Electric propulsion family inaugural qualification. 4,000-hour life test initiated. Performance map across 100–500 W discharge power characterised. IAC 2023 paper published.
CHT-20B Bipropellant — Engineering Qualification
20 N MMH/NTO bipropellant thruster engineering qualification completed. Combustion stability analysis at altitude conditions published at AIAA 2024. GEO transfer mission customer selected.
Active Programmes — Expansion
12+ active propulsion programmes across all four product families. IAC 2025 Milan exhibition confirmed. PMU-5 standard propellant management unit under customer qualification.
